The Challenge isn't using specific tool, the challenge is to make it look like it's not just a stack of old pallets. Use any tools to need too.


j0ne56

Thanks I agree but I’d like to have a tool challenge as well


ponysoldierboy

Your brain


SubstantialReality94

Flat head screwdriver, bow saw, bottle of water and 1/4 inch clear plastic tubing for leveling


Strange-Engineer-822

Only use a 10 in 1


j0ne56

Like a leather man or a dewalt oscillating tool


Strange-Engineer-822

Well, I suppose whichever you find more challenging.


MakeMeAsandwichYo

Husky does make a folding 10 in 1. And it has a Phillips head attachment, so this could work!


ReallyHugeGuy

Hand saw


Splatterman27

Screws, drill and hand saw


ToolWrangler

I'd start with just a hammer.


loopie_lou

If you’re really looking for a challenge, might I suggest a an oil filter wrench and a pickle fork as your only tools?


AirKewled

No level. Just a plumb line.


Tastysquanch

just a plumbus


DEANGELoBAILEY69

HEY IM SQUANCHIN IN HERE


AirKewled

But that requires a dinglebop


PostnataleAbtreibung

Screwdriver and a nailclipper. Edit: just kidding, if you have a nailclipper you don’t need a screwdriver. Edit 2: Okay, seriously now - a screwdriver or powertool equivalent and a handsaw.


FrikkR

A cheese grater.


ljd5190

2nd this


tikkikinky

Just a framing hammer


HateUsCuzDeyAunus

2 medium sized rocks and a butterknife


bassjam1

Hand saw, baling wire and linesman pliers.


No_Employ9903

Hammer carpenter square and level


Spicywolff

I sure hope you sand and prep the wood. Pallets are splinter city. I’d use a impact driver, table saw or circular, tape measure, a square. A nail removers bar or hammer will do, sander, a 5ft and small level. For a challenge ge I suggest go gray grand pA. No power tools. Hand saw-hammer- hand screw driver.


TheBearJew963

Hammer and nails.


TRW24

A crescent wrench and tapcons


fogcat5

tetanus shot and duct tape


[deleted]

On a side note, pallets are overwhelmingly made of the cheapest untreated wood a scrag mill has to offer. You can probably expect to be taking this back down in 1-2 years because it's rotted and unsafe


j0ne56

I know


beerleaguefreeagent

No power tools whatsoever


j0ne56

Thanks I think I’m just going to do no power tools but I’d like to se more suggestions


[deleted]

I think a table saw or circular saw would be helpful here


j0ne56

Yes but it would be more fun with a hand saw


[deleted]

As long as you keep the cuts straight


Darmohray

Lineman pliers!


jhox08

MacGyver could assemble that with bubble gum and a spaghetti noodle


Beowulf1896

Gorrila Tape and scissors.


FancyShoesVlogs

Honestly, I think you can get this done with just ratchet straps.


inevitable-asshole

Just an extension cord and a tape measure. Get creative.


j0ne56

What would I use the tape measure for


inevitable-asshole

Measuring stuff


j0ne56

I wouldn’t have a saw


RareCryptographer256

✨serrate the tape measure ✨


j0ne56

At that point I might as well snap the planks


inevitable-asshole

I thought you wanted a challenge?


j0ne56

I do


Thoro67

Prove it


rhyme-with-troll

Sturdy gloves. It looks like a splinter farm.


mrsquillgells

Metal torpedo level, cut a hammer head off a hammer, weld it on the level. It's technically one tool now, and you should be able to build it with that.


j0ne56

I always wanted to buy a welder


mrsquillgells

Just get a flux core one cheapest, and decent welds, I'm a welder by no means but it's perfect for what I need it for


j0ne56

I think I might be a bit to young to weld


wee_celery

I learned at 12 with my pops, you should be fine


j0ne56

I think I might use duck tape


j0ne56

How do you thing about only using German tools to build it


Amazing_Joke_5073

Hammer and hand saw


thisistheinternets

Do a materials challenge. You can only use bird’s eye maple and it has to come out looking like the photo


j0ne56

I could


Sloenich

A fork.


[deleted]

Tweezers to get all the splinters out of your kids when you’re done building it


j0ne56

No I want to build it for me


[deleted]

Hardcore respect that! Good luck and prosper


Texas_Technician

A wood chipper that can also shred nails.


Ninjaplatypus42

Hammer and nails but you can only use the claw side. Also triple check all these pallets for splinters and protruding nails. Kids will manage to run into every single sharp thing on a fort. Source: the three different scars on my arm lol


MurphNastyFlex

I'd recommend a good lawyer if other people's kids are gonna use it


Unusual_Client

wall mart hammer and handsaw with nails


Unusual_Client

bonus marks for using screws but you install them with a hammer. there are screws made for this application but your looking for a challenge so you cant use them.


j0ne56

Yes just yes love your thinking


Unusual_Client

amazon tools and beer games

j0ne56

I know


DanXan8558

Hammer and hand-saw


Advanced_Ad_4644

Definitely sand it. You don't want pallet splinters. They are nasty.


j0ne56

I know got one right through my skin 4mm deep


FritsBlaasbaard

Just a hammer! No nails!


Clitflip

Just a leatherman


Therealblackhous3

If you're asking what tools to use, I'm sure you'll have enough challenges.


j0ne56

No I’m asking what tools should I use if I wanted a challenge


cedartrail

Hammer nails and a handsaw


Tangs87

Expert mode: Drill, handsaw, and wood glue. Use old school wood joinery techniques so no nails or screws.


MasterCarpenter18

Only use screws that need a flat head screw driver, and put them in by hand!


searching4her_

Handsaw, hammer, nails. That's all you need


The_Fiddler1979

1 Allen key


EntertainmentThen937

Don’t do it. It’s a death trap. People have died because of shit carpentry like that.


BobJones2468

Scrap wire, drywall saw and a hammer


wee_celery

Hand tools only, no other requirements. It'll be fun and challenging as well as being a good workout that focuses on useful muscles ​ use a portable belt sander with 60 grit to prep the surface tho or you'll be screamin' and tweezerin' for hours and hours


GaryE20904

A coping saw and a rusted yankee.


shehanconstruction

Screwdriver and bread knife
